just popping in quickly to say hello to everyone and spread a bit of baby dust around again.
Lisa, When are you going to test?? Sending you positive baby thoughts!!
Sez, Thanks for asking about me, im doing pretty good, having stressful days here and there but on the whole things are going well. I am going for my first scan next week so am looking forward to that (and dreading it at the same time). Thinking of you often chicky and i hope that your body sorts itself with a BFP!
Kate, Not sure about the CM? GL though.
Big Hello to everyone else, i hope that you are all well!
Kate, i hope it is implantation!! How many DPO do you think you are?
Kell, awwww poor DH!! I hope he gets better very soon! For the benifit of everyone!!
Lisa, gl Darl!! I hope AF stays away and you are experiencing very early pg symptoms!!
Just went and watched Ten Canoes by myself! LOL ... Dp took the girls to his mum and dads and Alecia is over helping set up for youth group, so I thought, Why not!!??
Looking *good* Sez (assuming vomiting is good ). We need some more heading to PAML and you are looking just the ticket!!
Oh Jayney - I miss you so much!!! I am so excited that you are going well and have a nice little tummy to show for it. It would be so lovely to join you on the journey to babyland. I still have my fingers crossed although I am resigned to it not happening. As for the drinking ... half way through a lovely bottle of red No more babies lately but yes, I have had some *bedroom incidents* and some other funny stories that amuse us (and usually gross everyone else )
A big hello to everyone else and I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Lots of baby dust to you all xx
Okay girls, I have convinced myself overnight that I am NOT pg. I think it's just way too much to hope for this crazy cycle, when we weren't even really trying! I guess you all know it's so easy to read into these *symptoms* and I just got carried away yesterday. Didn't I tell you all, once I got to the weekend, I knew I would be a wreck! LOL
Mind you, although I didn't share everything with dh (don't want to get his hopes up too, and you know what males are like - so naive!),I did tell him about me chucking. Once he ascertained that I was okay, he didn't worry about it. About two hours later, he was in the shower and he called out to me. He asked "did we finally agree on ---- as the boys name?" I couldn't believe it! We haven't discussed anything like that for months! So I think he must be hopeful for this cycle too, but daren't ask too much!
Sez honey - things are sounding pretty good. I'm still extremely hopeful that this is going to end in a BFP for you - sometimes things happen so much easier when you're not REALLY trying! It's so hard when it gets to that last week before testing - so many *symptoms* start appearing and all. Hang in there, we're all here for you!
Paige - Great to hear from you again and hope all is well.
Hope everyone else is well. I'm not bad today - have a bit of hayfever but other than that, feeling quite positive. Actually got some good sleep last night, for once, so all is great.
I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weekend!
Lisa, you haven't mentioned testing yet. Are you going to test tomorrow? Please tell me to rack off if you're wanting to keep it quiet! It's just that I'm so nervous and excited for you! I am really that it all happens for you this cycle.
Tanya, don't worry about jinxing me. I think I jinx myself! If this month isn't it, I'm going to start temping vaginally cos I'm sick of FF screwing up my O date. Maybe they are right, but I really have a good gut feeling on these things, and I usually trust my instincts. I must look into the pregnow tests, I take it they are online? I hope af has arrived! Good on you for going to the flicks, I love going on my own! (very antisocial, I know) Was the film good?
Kate, I'm sure those rabbits are purely green! Congratulations, and enjoy your anniversary. I can't wait for our 1st wedding anniversary! I think I'm going to have to renegotiate our test date. You'll see why at the end of my post.......Your symptoms are sounding pretty ace, so I hope you're willing to reconsider!
Sarah, what day is your scan? I want to know so I can be thinking of you at the time! All the best sweetie, can't wait to hear the results! BTW I seriously hope you are enjoying that beautiful weather over there! It's gorgeous here today too, but you know how much I love WA!
Hope, if I were you, I would be going for it! As you said, waiting didn't help you last time, and you'll feel so much better if you can get back into it again (take it from someone who knows!) Ultimately, it's your decision. You will know when you are ready to ttc again. If that's now, then get bding girlfriend!
Jayne, thanks for telling me about your crazy chart....look at you now! Jessica sounds sooooooo adorable!
Great to hear from you Michelle, I hope it was a *good* vomit too! I hope you are going well, enjoy that wine! I think I'm going to miss it next time! Last time it didn't bother me one iota, but I have gotten quite into wine of late (seeking solace at the bottom of a bottle LOL!) so I think it might be more difficult!
Paige, good to hear from you, glad that you are bding like crazy! Those spermies and eggie will have no chance but to meet up and get it on! Where do you live?
Kelly, I'm so glad to hear you sounding happy and relaxed! What day have you moved your u/s to?
Belle, it must almost be O time! I'm sure you're getting in heaps of practice this weekend! With the sticks and the BD ROFL!
Well, I am in that stage of changing my mind about what's happening evey two minutes. I bought five , yes FIVE different brands of HPTs while I was out today, so clearly I am still holding out some hope! (just remembered I also have some lullaby ones here too!!!!) The nausea started up again at about 10am and it is getting progressively worse. I hope it doesn't end in another chuck! As I didn't have any m/s last time, I don't know if that's what this is. It comes in waves, I sort of forget about it, and then it hits me again. I have this feeling in my mouth like I've sucked on a lemon! Weird! Less of the creamy cm today, but it's defintiely still there. The thing that's really making me wonder is the cramps I'm having. Sometimes they're still like af cramps, but I'm also getting some *stretching* pains (only way I can describe it) which are sort of like I had last time. In fact, after pushing a very heavy trolley around Bunnings earlier they got quite bad, which I remember happening previously. It's like my body telling me to rest IYKWIM.
Gosh, after reading that I really hope I get a BFP, otherwise I have some imagination! Please don't write me off as loopy........not yet anyway! Is anyone else this bad in the tww?
I'm now thinking that six different brands is overkill, wouldn't you agree? I'm just such a POAS addict! When should I test????????
We just lost our baby to an ect pregnancy and my right tube and I was told that I should give my body 4-6 months before ttc. I know that it has only been 3.5 weeks since it happened and I haven't even had my first AF (sorry tmi), BUT I don't think I can wait that long. Does anybody have any advice?? Thank you for listening.
Thanks for the warm welcome Jayne and Sez!
It's really comforting to know I can embark on this journey with others who've had similar experiences. I just know I'll be a mess when I am preggers again-- after two missed m/c's and no previous bubs (the cat and dog don't count right?) I can't say I have much faith in my bod to do what it is supposed to do. I actually kind of wished my tests had shown something so that there would at least be a "plan of attack" next time around. BUT I'm once again getting ahead of myself-- before I start worrying about being UTD I need to actually get duffed. So here we go again!
Jayne- Jessica sounds like a doll!! Hope she didn't kip for too long this arvo and dream about how she's going to "party" all night!
Lisa............HELLO (((echo))) Are you there, or are you hiding?!!!!!!!!
Where is everyone else this weekend? It sure is a quiet one!
Thanks for reassuring me Kelly! I feel better, but still like a bit of a loop!
Hope, I definitely count my staffy as my baby.......in fact I call her my baby girl all the time! I know what you mean about the test results, but honestly, it really is for the best that they all came back okay. GL getting duffed hun!
Welcome Kez! I don't know about the waiting time after an ectopic, but I sure understand your impatience - I think I'm the president of that club! I have a great friend who suffered an ectopic though, I'll ask her what she was told. Lisa might be able to help you too.......if she ever arrives! (JK Lisa!) If you DO have to wait awhile, please hang around in here. I'm supposedly not ttc yet (not that you'd know!) but I have found the gals in here to be just fantastic, so supportive and wonderful.
Well I am one hungry hungry hippo! Even though I ate a really good dinner last night (despite feeling sick, in fact still felt sick when I went to sleep) I woke up at 5am STARVING. I managed to hold out until 6.30am to eat brekky, but then couldn't go back to sleep! Just waiting to see if the nausea kicks in again today. Cramping has settled, is that a good or bad thing? Trying to be patient, but have now reached the foot tapping stage...............fidget fidget! Well, I'm going to go and buy a new telly today, so that should distract me for awhile! And I might hit Eastland or Knox while I'm at it! Maybe I could buy some more HPTs? JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, really, I think I need a new ensemble for the races. Although, if I'm going to be pg I'll have to think about what sort of dress.....see, no matter what I do it always comes back to the tww!
Scanlon is having his morning sleep and I am feeling reasonably good.
Hope all are well.
Kelly - As far as telling people go, my approach has been that I have told every body about my 2 M/C, so I might as well tell people about pregnancy. I did not wait the "standard"12 weeks (except at work). It can be a bit stressful when everyone is asking all the time though!
Sez - 2 of my 3 pregnancies started with SEVERE cramping on the day AF was due. I was so sure that I was not pregnant. This included the pregnancy that resulted in "Mr Moo" as we call him! Based on my experience, I'm hoping its a good thing for you.
Kate - I know you posted your question re a possible implantation bleed a few days ago. What you described sounds like what I attributed to an implantation bleed. Fingers crossed.
Hope - Hi there. I hope hanging out here will ease your pain some. It has for me. One of my M/C was missed. I had to have a D&C, and DH and I did not wait to TTC again. AF came 6 weeks after D&C, and that month Scanlon was coneived. As far as "other" babies go, I count my 2 Jack Russells, Chester and Ruby as my babies. They gave me a lot of comfort after my first M/C. Dogs are so intuitive. They knew something was wrong and just wanted to sit on my lap all the time, it was beautiful.
Kez - Sorry for your loss. I dont have any advice about ectopic, all I can say is be kind to yourself.
Today is CD10 and DH and I are working on our BD. What approach do you guys take? Do you go "like rabbits" or do you take a slow and steady approach? Previously we have BD'ed on CD 8 10 12 14 16 18. What do you think about this?
Also wondering if any of you have come across many women who have been breastfeeding children when they are pregnant with a new baby?
I am still BF Scanlon, and though my Dr says it does not matter, BF causes the uterus to contract after birth, so I think it stands to reason that this may increase the risk of mc.
Any ideas?
Paige Hi & welcome to the group (I'm just hanging around a bit at the moment instead of full on posting due to some waiting issues). When we fell last time we DTD every second day from CD10 to CD20 just to make sure & it worked!! Here's wishing you all the very best for this month.
Huge hi to all you wonderful women, I am stalking you all & your progress but for my own peace of mind I am a little absent in posting. Just need to get my head around a couple of things first & then I'll be back full time (well as soon as we get the green light to TTC again anyway!)
Hopefully this place will be soooooo empty by the time I get back in here.
Sez - It's still sounding really good for you honey!! I'm so sure you're going to be announcing a BFP later this week!!! I've got a beautiful staffy aswell - aren't they just the greatest dogs!!!
Paige - I think you've just go to do what's right for you in the BD'ing department!! DH and I just went for it like rabbits but also tried not to do it if we really didn't feel like it, I didn't want him to feel completely used and abused (although he loved it and now regrets not taking advantage of it even more as I'm far too worried all the time for any of that now!!)
Hope - I'm not sure if I welcomed you or not, so if I didn't - welcome honey - you'll find the most amazing women in here - so supporting and caring. I also had a missed m/c and now being pg again is just so stressful, so when it does happen again for you, I'll be here!! I didn't have any symptoms last time and so didn't know when I'd lost the bub, that's whats freaking me out the most, I just keep wondering if everything is ok and going to have a scan is just the worst!!! Not much I can do though, but be patient and positive!! Oh and I DEFINITELY consider my goregous staffy as my baby!! I always call him my beautiful little boy (and we're mummy and daddy to him!!) - they're the best!!!
Kez - Welcome!! I'm afraid I'm not sure about the wait after an ectopic either but do wish you all the best honey! It's such a difficult time and we're all here for you! I feel that as much as it's important to take the advice of your doctor, you also need to do whats right for you. GL.
Kate - How are you going honey?? I hope af stays away for you - when will you test, are you still thinking you might do it on Thursday? I'm praying for you and we'll all here for you babe!!
It sure has been quite in here over the weekend.
Tanya - How are you going sweety? You still haven't told us if the movie you saw was any good??
Lisa - Hope all is well and I'm praying that af hasn't arrived!! Please let us know how you're going!!!
Megan - How are you going?? I've been thinking about you and hope that all is well. It's very weird to say but I do hope af has arrived in full force so you can confidently start the ttc journey again.
Belle - I don't think we've heard from you for a while either - how are you?? Do you think you've O'd yet?? I hope you're busy getting heaps of BDing in!!!
Shell - How are you going?? You must be on top of the world still about your great scan - it's just wonderful. Bet you can't wait to see your gorgeous little bub again soon!! Take care.
Sarah - How are you going?? I hope the weekend has been a good one. Have you started getting any more m/s yet?? I'm still feeling fine, which really sucks!!! I can't help but worry a little. Trying to stay positive and even had a really good dream last night about our bub but I'm scared to tell you all now because someone mentioned if you tell people, the dream won't come true - and it was a really good one!!!!!
Jayne - I hope you've had a lovely weekend and that Jessica is feeling a little better. She sounds like such a cutie - I just loved reading about her pulling up your shirt to show everyone your tummy!!!!
I'm so sorry if I've missed anyone and hope that you're all wonderfully well.
I'm ok again today. Just wishing the week away to get closer to my next scan. Was feeling a little down again yesterday afternoon - until the Eagles won!!!! Very exciting stuff over here in WA. DH still isn't feeling too well but at least I've been sleeping a little better!!! He's just gone down to the beach for a surf, hoping that the salt water will clear his sinuses a little, so he should be feeling a bit better when he gets home. Then he's promised that we'll go hire some DVD's and lie on the couch!! Can't wait - we NEVER to that. I have a DH that just can't sit still - he always has to be doing something, which is great and bad all at the same time!!
Take care everyone. I'm back at work tomorrow (yuck!) so may not be able to post as much - damn it. It's been so great keeping up with everything!!
I'm really hoping that a whole lot of you ladies are going to spring up and say SURPRISE! tomorrow, and announce BFPs! Obviously, I am having a quiet weekend..........
Well, the cramps have pretty much gone, but I still have a few stretchy pains. Just a little nausea this afternoon, but not nearly as much as Friday and yesterday, and it only just started. I don't understand why I'm fine in the morning, but then feel sick as the day goes on????? Anyhow, still have a bit of really thick creamy cm, so I am holding out some hope, but not a lot. Don't feel like af is coming, but don't really feel pg either. If af doesn't arrive by Wednesday I think I might have to test then. Will talk to dh about it. Probably should wait until Thursday, but I don't think I can hold out that long! And I know dh will just say TEST which is why I haven't discussed it with him yet!
Hope you are all going marvellously well. I was about to go out into the garden.....but it's started to rain! Bloody Melbourne weather, it was beautiful this morning! Never mind it will just have to wait. Mind have to find some chocolate mmmmm..........
ETA by the time I am finishing this post the nausea is kicking in a bit more! I wish my body would just do one thing or the other..........maybe I won't have the chocolate after all
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for quite some time so I'm quite familiar with you all but haven't posted, a little slack. haven't even changed ticker yet which is wrong.
Good luck for everyone.
Just needed to say to you Sez, I hope you get a bfp this week, I keep checking in to see whether you have tested yet or not, I can't wait too much longer, it's killing me. This may be our next journey we spend together. Good luck
Hi all,
Gee its been busy in here this weekend! I had lunch with all my girlfriends yesterday and i actually did it pretty tough - two 1 year olds, one 3 month old and my best friend is 8 months pregnant. I couldn't help letting the jealousy leak in as its the first time we have all been together since i m/c, couldn't help with the "it's not fair" thoughts! I have been spotting now for a few days, and i actually nearly threw up the other day too and my nips are red raw! My body is ridiculous and i have no idea what is going on. I just wish af would come so i could get back on the wagon! I am on holidays for two weeks so i will be checking in with everyone regularly....i hope all those "signs" result in BFP's. Enjoy your week everyone!
). We need some more heading to PAML and you are looking just the ticket!!
No more babies lately but yes, I have had some *bedroom incidents* and some other funny stories that amuse us (and usually gross everyone else 
)
that it all happens for you this cycle. 
and a nice sticky bubba!
Trying to be patient, but have now reached the foot tapping stage...............fidget fidget! Well, I'm going to go and buy a new telly today, so that should distract me for awhile! And I might hit Eastland or Knox while I'm at it! Maybe I could buy some more HPTs? JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, really, I think I need a new ensemble for the races. Although, if I'm going to be pg I'll have to think about what sort of dress.....see, no matter what I do it always comes back to the tww! 
to you Sez, I hope you get a bfp this week, I keep checking in to see whether you have tested yet or not, I can't wait too much longer, it's killing me. This may be our next journey we spend together. Good luck
